This year, Ricci wrapped production on Guns Up, an action/comedy costarring Kevin James and directed by Edward Drake. She is also currently appearing in the third season of the show Yellowjackets, reprising her role as Misty Quigley.
Ricci’s career began at age 7, when a local theater critic took notice of her performance in a school Christmas play. By the time she was 8, she made her professional debut in 1990’s Mermaids, starring alongside Cher and Winona Ryder. But it was her portrayal of the dark and quirky Wednesday Addams in 1991’s The Addams Family and its sequel, 1993’s Addams Family Values, that solidified Ricci as a household name. She followed that with the hit 1995 film Casper, which earned her the NATO Show East Star of the Year Award and the Star of Tomorrow Award.
